Alec Steele Blacksmith 2019 - Розваги
Every time I see the Shark Power Hammer I fall in love with the artistic ability that was imbued on it. Well done Mrs. Steele!!!!
I miss the way it came.
I kinda dig it, just think it would have looked better if the blue had been olive drab instead.
Would've looked more like the planes it was inspired by in my mind
I’m really digging how Jaime (Jamie? Jayme?) is doing the hammer/music sync.
It's Jammie. Because he edits in some tasty jams'
Key Things of Forging: hit the metal to the beat!
Chase Dragons and on that note, your choice of music will make a difference!
Beginners may want to save the dubstep for later.
Hagerty has this engine rebuild/milling video with a good beat/beat..?
How to make a hammer.....with a hammer.
This is like some weird chicken and egg situation 😂
I guess we will never know what came first
@@bilbo3474 Rock, a very hard rock likely came first.
@@artificerdrachen6908 Or a cast iron hammer, I suppose.
@@artificerdrachen6908 dont worry guys I already worked it out.
The first was just some rock. Someone heated a lump of metal up until it was red or orange hot and he started beating the hell out of it with a rock forming it into a more practical form as a tool for striking. After that he just used his more or less hammer for everything. The first handle was probably just some twigs folded or glued or whatever maybe even stringed to the hammerhead and yeah thats basically it. I mean he could have already produced an almost flat surface by taking his time and grinding on his hammer with a stone and after he had his hammer the rest comes all by itself
Stone hammers were once the gold standard, used for metalworking before steel and by Native Americans pre-European contact inspite of having no metal which would need forged
I love it that they are now editing the hammer strikes along with the bg music. It's those details that make it pop
Now? He's been doing that since Barker St. Forge
Yeah, he's been doing that for years.
Who else agrees Alec is super talented!!
And when he doesn't have the talent, he has the persistence!
Keep it up Mr. Steele!
John Dimelow yes
No.
that's a beautiful hammer, Alec. Visually awesome blend of rough and smooth. Joy to watch.
Could you maybe go through the most common types of hammers and show what is best to use them for, why they exist as they do? Some kind of tools introductions?
Thank you for all you are showing us!
Great idea, traditionally the blacksmith made every tool for every trade, some hand tool history of different trades mixed with the awesome weapon history and production would be great!
Yes PLEASE that would be most helpful
He had an article on his website about hammers a while ago, it might still be up
I'm so happy your store is stocking more and more things for aspiring new blacksmiths. You're doing a great thing for the community.
Literally just finished replacing the handles on my hammers, couldn't even find handles near me I had to get a sledgehammer handle and cut it in thirds and NOW alec starts selling handles 😑
And here I am trying to find a sledgehammer handle for my restored handforged 1960s 14 pounder. I’m going to end up carving one I reckon.
You know that they literally grow on trees don't you? Google "lumber yard near me",
@@sally6457 getting wood wasn't the issue. It was getting wood that I wouldn't have to do a crap ton of shaping on cuz i dont have a ll the right power tools
@@hutchmusician I found the one I used at Lowes. It was kinda hidden away from the rest of the tools and lumber
@@minime8368 you can do it, my comment was meant light-heartedly, give it a go, there's no better feeling than using a tool you made yourself.
If you don't have power tools use what you have got or can borrow.
“Isolate the cheeks and the eye from the faces”
-Steele 2020
Al: makes a beautifully fit handle...
Proceeds to set it on fire!
I have NEVER like any of his handles. Being a woodworker, it's a crime to blacken that wood and hide its beauty.
@@AndyFromBeaverton The black wears off on the high spots, exposing the wood's grain. It's not like it's particularly nice wood anyways.
I think his handles always look back because of the burning. Always seems like a shame. Besides, you want the contrast against the near-black of the steel. Grrr
@@AndyFromBeaverton indeed, just drop the completed hammer in a large bucket of oil for a day or two, pull it out, wipe it down, and let it dry.
🎵This is still really hot and it burning me, so im going to cool it down🎵
That Bill Bryson book is sooo good! I don't know how he does it but he makes the most boring topics really exciting somehow, I really recommend everyone to read/listen to it!
Flash back to Alec’s teaching moment back in the UK!! Been watching since the first work shop!! 👌🏽👍🏽🍻
I love the "Make your own tools" videos.... I REALLY hope you continue in this effort to help us all make our own tools... After all, the best tools like the best food... is the type you make yourself!!
Love the editing, syncing up the hammer blows to the rhythm of the music!
This series remind sme of the early days of daily Steele. Really enjoyed it
Enjoying this series Alec.
Alec: Don't grind wood with abrasives that have touched steel, it will burn it.
Also Alec: *Uses flamethrower on handle to colour it black*
4 minutes in and Jamie has nailed the editing yet again.. the music beat to sledge strikes is brilliant..
alec: "i used the hammer to make the hammer."
Man, I wish I had your outlook on things and sheer optimism and work ethic when I was your age.
and it was on recommended in 21 seconds of upload
just shows how epic alec steele is
Alec is the type of guy who could turn the hammer back into the steel he started with 😂
That could be a fun challenge, to weld back together a hammer into an ingot
Jean Ladoire ya
you are the most inspirational person for this craft and i am always excited to watch your videos,thank you.
Historic Weapon Request: Zulu iklwa, in Steele Brand damascus
I request as well
You know a quality content when
the editor and the content creator are skillful with their crafts.
I love how exited you are in every video, and you really get my day going, thanks and keep going and do what you like!
One of the best series, helps me as a beginner blacksmith myself. Thanks Alec 👍
That was good timing. I have just woken up and went looking for a video to watch and yours popped up first, one minute after you posted it.
Ngl there is some genius marketing intergrations within this series and a great way to get people started. Excellently crafted series. Great writing guys
That's so awesome that your taking the time to show this new guy, Matt, how to forge. My name is also Matt. I would love to be able to get lessons in person from Alec and get paid for it at the same time! Win win win all around. Good job!
Great looking hammer! Good craftsmanship Alec! Well done! 👍😁
Way to go Alex. Probably will never need the information, but I really appreciate the time and teaching you are giving us.
Love the back to basics stuff...the blammer is beautiful..complemented by the torch black handle... awesome!!!
These short one video builds are such a nice hit of dopamine.
This really exposes the patience aspect of forging. You don't just grab a hammer and start poundibg hot steel. You gotta take it slow, bit by bit.
Man I’m a little Jelly. I just returned from Vacation so I didn’t get to finish putting my shop together. I did strip the paint off of my forge body before I left and also did some adjustment work and added an extra valve in my burners so that I can use just one burner for smaller jobs. I did keep some extra tubing so if I get a forge body longer than the 18 inch one I have I can extend the width between the burners. Also got some nice hinges and latches and a rivet Gun so I can make doors with latches and hinges, but not like the one you made. Mine is all hand operated. I’m shooting for getting it done by the end of next week. Including lining my forge and repainting it with high temp paint and finishing my anvil. And the one thing I keep neglecting. I need tongs.
The swords and other beautiful things they make are amazing, but i am really enjoying these videos.
Alec, I think you're editing dept. needs a shout out!! Last video was top-notch!! Only getting better with every video. Your channel has come a looooong way, since solo-filming in ye old UK shop!! 🤘😎
Very nice. Wow the 1st place tongs guy went all out with decorative accents. Could be competition Alec. Lol
That Steele anvil is gorgeous fo sho.
forgot i had my volume on full when i started the video. holy moly
I can't tell you how many times I've been told I have too much material in my peen end, ha ha
i just started forging today . this was so helpful.
Alec, I love the channel. I have been watching for years now. Just wanted to thank you for the recommendation of the Jack Carr book series. I already have audible and listened to all 3 books. Great recommendations. Keep up the good work
That's some proper teaching Alec.
Super awesome build!
Expecting next week's show to start the whole thing from scratch on week one again!
Alec, have you and Will considered making armor?
well of course he wouldn't make armor he would make armour will would make armor
shaping sheet metal requires a whole different set of tools and equipment.
Every episode has someone asking Alec to make armor. (That and Damascus glasses for some reason) I'm sure there are channels out there that make armor for people that are interested in sheet metal. Maybe Alec could have an episode about refurbishing old fishing reels?
Introducing episode 6million and 3. We are redoing my the rivets
You must be new here. They've been asked THOUSANDS of times to make armor. As someone else stated, it require an entirely different shop full of tools they are boot equipped to do it. They're not going to do armor.
Thanks for the knowledge on how to forge a Ball-Peen Hammer, Alec !!!!!!!!!!!
I like how nicely Alec's COVID beard is coming in. Quite bushy.
Great video, Jamie did an amazing job editing this one!! Don’t think I’ll ever forge a hammer, but neat to see the process.
Great work Alec. Thanks for sharing! 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for having such a wonderful channel, Alec! I really enjoy watching you and seeing the art you create.
If it’s not too forward, I’d like to make a recommendation. Your channel has become pretty big, you have a decent staff, and you’re reaching a large audience. Please consider hiring a captioner/transcriber. I have auditory processing issues and sometimes need to rewind several times to catch what you’ve said just by virtue of it being a recorded video and having background noise and not always having your face in view while you talk. Having proper captions will make your channel more accessible to me, more accessible to Deaf and HoH folks, and more accessible in general.
Please consider it. I’d love it if your joy for forging could reach even more people than it does now!
"Peen" giggity
Maybe the next hammer will be a "BALL peen" giggity giggity!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hey Alec you really inspired me to build my own forge and I'm 14. I'm now making my own tools. I've made all the stuff for my foundry with the forge
Nice video as always..
Brutal ballpeen pattern i think ill try something similar thanks for the inspiration steele.
Love the tool builds 👍
Man you make it look so simple! Great work 🤘
Thank God. Been scrolling UA-cam for hours and hours waiting on the next Alec Steele video.
Find something to do
I love the paintjob on the powerhammer! Tho googly eyes are still above and beyond.
Alec, have you ever tried doing any repousse designs? It looks like a challenge to me. Here is an idea for you- make a repousse sheet to cover your regular entrance door or some such- if it opens out then security doors would be right out, but if it opens in then make a security "Screen" door with a repousse design in it. or you made a bed once, maybe do a headboard design, or a company logo one to hang on the wall somewhere. not to make you have too many irons in the fire, just something to roll around in your head and get to once things slow in other places.
Thanks for the videos, hope you all are doing well.
I am not a blacksmith. But I have learned of lot of stuff through this channel. Maybe I'll strike a hammer one day. And the video edits are just amazing. :)
Damn, Alec is actually a really good tutor
Loved the idea of this series. Quickly found out that people dedication and skill (not to mention time and equipment) greatly advances their chances of winning. Not that that wasnt expected just made me kind of realize there is no point in competing other than to try it.
Hi Alex, nice work on the hammer. Living vicariously through you and your channel.i had rotator cuff surgery so, I'm out for a while. Keep on , on keeping on..
i see you got the anvil listed, omg supper ready for that bad boy to hit the market
This is class!! Need another tv show!
Hello Alec, how are you? I am a big fan of your work, you are amazing and very talented. I believe that many Brazilians like me also appreciate your work a lot. a big hug here from Brazil, for you and Will he is also fantastic.
Man I love that anvil! Alec you lucky bastard!!
That is a gorgeous hammer.
Well, you said you were going to put that anvil through its paces and it sure looks to be holding up well. :)
Can't wait to have my blacksmith's shop set up... not long now!
Eu adoro seu trabalho
Alec! you should put out a book list. what's your top books in business and personal development? thanks! love the series!
Something wonderful about hammer making
Love your channel
great looking hammer Alec.
That anvil is looking really nice with some hot steel on it 😌👌
I don't why but I was expecting a trio of dancing Alex impersonators. Make it happen!!! lol
"Alec" I mean sorry my bad.
That second place came really surprising for me - thanks a ton! =D That first place was really well deserved, those leaves are such a lovely touch =)
can't wait to get cracking on the hammer! =D
Yayyyyy! He's back!!!
Darn nice work.
Every time Alec puts out a video he makes me regret leaving the US and I wish I could go back.
Great workman ship
Awesome looking ball-penn hammer ;)
Love your vid man
Very nice looking hammer.
One of the most satifying things is the editors syincing the hammer blows to the beat of the music.
Idk why but just seeing the hammer finished made me audibly say "that's a sexy hammer" and my girl heard me say it hahaha
Alec you should do a collaboration with Baltimore Knife and Steel. They do awesome work.
On Audible try The Wheel of Time series book 1 The Eye of the World. Great series and cool weapons throughout it.
Oh Yeah!!! Thanks Alec!!!
Now that is what I'd call "On top of your craft".
great video bro
Good job
keeps it up bro!!!
Trick for hanging tool handles if you got it sticking on there just tap the handle with the weight of the tool head fighting the momentum and getting shoved further onto the handle. light stuff just tap the handle on a hard surface and the weight of the tool head will do much the same to tighten up.
